Abstract: An extreme off-axis image projection system substantially compensates for image-quality-degrading aberrations typical to off-axis imaging systems. This is accomplished through the use of a free-form mirror in conjunction with both spherical and aspherical refractive elements and an off-axis placement of the input image source. In some embodiments, the off-axis image projection system contains a free-form mirror and a projection lens system with multiple lenses. The projection system projects light from an image source onto a surface (aka, projection surface). The projection surface is both close to the projector (in z) and extends away from the projector (in x and y).

Abstract: An improvement to existing board manufacturing process which utilize lignocellulose particles is described wherein the adhesive to be applied as a binder is at least partly applied before the particles are dried. Using the invention improvement in resin application rates without increase in the water content of the particles fed to a press is achieved. Reduction in edge thickness swelling has been achieved.

Abstract: A lift mechanism for use with a tractor and a convertor dolly. The lift mechanism includes an elongated arm having a first end and a second end; tractor attachment structure for pivotally attaching the first end of the arm to a tractor; convertor dolly attachment structure for attaching the second end of the arm to a convertor dolly; and actuating structure for raising the second end of the arm.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile) of improved color which comprises reacting 2-amino-2-methylpropionitrile with a metal hypochlorite, M(OCl).sub.x where M is selected from sodium, potassium or calcium and x is the valence of M, in the presence of water and a mixture of a quaternary ammonium surface active compound with either a nonionic or amphoteric surface active compound, said mixture having an HLB of about 8 to about 35 at a temperature of about -10.degree. C to about 30.degree. C and recovering the self-precipitated 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile) from the reaction mixture.

Abstract: The preparation of aliphatic azodinitriles by a process comprising reacting an alpha-aminonitrile selected from ##STR1## and mixtures thereof wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are selected from (1) hydrocarbyl radicals of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, (2) hydrocarbyl radicals of 1 to 8 carbon atoms substituted with carboxyl, hydroxyl or --OR wherein R is selected from a hydrocarbyl radical of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, (3) cyclohydrocarbyl radicals of 3 to 6 carbon atoms and (4) cyclohydrocarbyl radicals of 3 to 11 carbon atoms formed by combining R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 or R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 with 5 to 15% by weight based on the reaction mixture of a metal hypochlorite, M(OCl).sub.x where M is selected from sodium, potassium or calcium and x is the valence of M, in an aqueous medium in the presence of 0.25 to 10% by weight, based on the weight of aminonitrile, of a surface active compound or mixtures thereof having an HLB of 8 to 35 at a temperature of -10.degree. C to 30.degree.

Abstract: Homopolymers and copolymers are prepared which contain side chains of Werner complexes of carboxylic acid groups coordinated with chromium. Particularly useful are such polymers with side chains provided by the homopolymerization and copolymerization of methacrylato chromic chloride complexes. These materials have many uses including as coupling agents for bonding resins to other materials.

Abstract: A new compound, 2-[(1-cyano-1-methylethyl)azo]-2-methylpropionamide, has been found which is useful as an initiator in the polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated compounds.
